Dehydration from insufficient water intake and/or water loss affects a much, much higher percentage of people than water intoxication. The danger of drinking too much water is not so much about how much water you drink, but how fast you drink it, as noted in the case with the California woman. It is better to have small amounts of water frequently rather than trying to force large amounts of fluid at one time.
The kidneys of most healthy adults can process up to 15 quarts of water a day! Since most people are never going to drink anywhere near that amount, it is highly unlikely that you are ever going to become water intoxicated.
